Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro has declared that no amount of propaganda and frivolous allegations would make him jettison the pursuit of Igbo interest.<\/p>\n

He spoke in reaction to allegations against him and some other chieftains of Ohanaeze Ndigbo by Ohanaeze President, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.<\/p>\n

Isiguzoro, who said there are clandestine meetings ahead of the 2027 election, which is aimed at satisfying the personal interest of an unnamed South-East governor in the All Progressives Congress, APC, said they would continue to frustrate such moves.<\/p>\n

He said Professor Obasi Igwe, Dr. Harford Ugwu, and Professor Nwankwo Nwaezeigwe should be commended for standing tall in defence of Igbo interest and vilification.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese noble individuals have exhibited unwavering courage in unveiling the hidden agendas and clandestine political machinations of the so-called \u2018Ohanaeze Reconciliation Committee.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThis committee, established in December 2023 with an office in Abuja, has been unmasked for its ulterior motive: to advance the 2027 Vice Presidential ambition of a Southeast Governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clandestine activities of this committee aim to pair a Southeast Governor as the running mate to a Northern presidential candidate in the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis strategic move seeks to exploit Northern discontent with the Federal Government to oppose President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite facing setbacks exposed by leaked audio recordings, the civil intrigues to unseat President Tinubu persist, with financial backing provided by the Southeast Governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis subversive effort involves leveraging a faction of misguided Igbo Elders to engage with Northern counterparts, Fulani leaders, and Northern Monarchs.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the proponents had \u201cresorted to deceptive tactics, baseless accusations, and alarmist strategies to obfuscate the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the allegations directed against him were \u201cgroundless, malicious, and untruthful.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo monetary demands for any medical trip were made to Chief Iwuanyanwu by Isiguzoro. We challenge Chief Iwuanyanwu to substantiate any claims he makes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsiguzoro, along with Professor Obasi, Professor. Nwankwo Nwezeigwe, and other dedicated individuals, will not be deterred by ongoing threats, intimidation, or false media propaganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecent events highlight the urgency of safeguarding OHANAEZE NDIGBO from being co-opted for the 2027 Vice Presidential aspirations of the Southeast Governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttempts to extend the President General\u2019s tenure from Imo State and deprive Rivers State of the rightful opportunity to lead OHANAEZE Ndigbo must be scrutinized and resisted by Ndigbo.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called on all Ndigbo and well-meaning Nigerians \u201cto stand together to safeguard our collective future from divisive forces seeking to manipulate our destiny.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is only through collaboration, honesty, and a firm dedication to the truth that we can navigate the challenges that lie ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
